Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Remote sensing, with its remarkable capacity to capture vast volumes of data, has become the main tool in our global efforts to monitor and manage our planet's resources, ecosystems, and anthropogenic activities. When coupled with the analytical power of geoinformatics, this synergy empowers us to make well-informed decisions, shape policies, and execute strategies aimed at creating a sustainable future. Remote sensing and geoinformatics are powerful tools that have revolutionized our ability to monitor and manage our planet's resources and ecosystems. In the context of sustainable development, these technologies play a pivotal role in making informed decisions for a better and more sustainable future.

Remote sensing data, combined with geospatial analyses, offer valuable insights into the dynamics of several subjects affecting sustainability such as urban growth, agriculture, land use and land cover, natural resources, biodiversity, ecosystems and natural habitats, water resources, climate change, transportation and infrastructure development, disaster resilience and many more.

The scope of this Special Issue extends across a broad spectrum of disciplines, inviting exploration into the ways in which remote sensing and geoinformatics contribute to sustainable development. The aim is to explore the dynamic intertwining between these cutting-edge technologies and the imperative goal of sustainable progress. Thus, we encourage interdisciplinary collaborations and innovative approaches that advance our understanding and the practical application of these technologies in promoting a more sustainable and resilient future.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
